This place is awesome....too bad the owner has decided to change it into an event venue!! Amber is great....friendly and great bartender. Food is great! This is a gem in Wellsburg.... please open it up to a full service restaurant on the water again! read more

Could be a really cool spot right on the Ohio river. This is a fun bar in the summer (I celebrated my 21st birthday here actually!). Drinks and food used to be really reasonably priced, but have definitely skyrocketed since covid. They used to have dinner but it looks like it has been taken off the menu, probably due to food and staff shortages. The other food used to be pretty good, but I've heard bad things recently. I would come here and hang out for a drink but maybe skip the food. Service has always been slow here, even long before the pandemic, and the two times I have been here since covid it has definitely been even slower paced. read more

The Crooked Dock - beer - Bars Near Me - Wellsburg, West Virginia

Tons of food for the price so don't let the prices scare you. I always have left overs!

We sat on the outside patio on a Sunday afternoon, it was warm, but the sun was beautiful and bright. We had a party of five and we all ordered and we received our food in a timely fashion. Georgie was our amazing waitress and brought our food. I questioned visiting here and ordering off the menu after reading some of the other reviews however I can tell you that I got the steak hoagie the full size and I've never had a hoagie so big. The beer was cold the food was hot the service was great. Two thumbs up I highly recommend. I would definitely visit again and also recommend. read more

Outside dock along the river, makes for a relaxing atmosphere for drinks. Friendly staff. Indoor seating also. Looks to have heat lights for chilly evenings. People were getting ready to play volleyball on the court off the deck. Beautiful drive from the Burgh to get there ... docking on river for people with their boats on the river. read more

The food was really good but this one place was very understaffed with the waitresses and the service is bad and really slow. Good food but I don't recommend it. read more

I have been coming to crocked dock for years and I am disappointed my last two adventures there. The food used to be so huge, and prices were pretty good, however recently they raised their prices on most items by 3-4 dollars each. Which isn't too bad in the grand scheme, but to pay 17$ for a hoagie is a little crazy (and they don't give you fries on the side). A huge word of caution is the water/tea basically anything made with tap water is undrinkable. It tastes like chew spit. So definitely order a bottled beverage. Another issue we had was the food took about 1.5hrs, normally this wouldn't be a super issue we were with 4 other people and it was a little busy, but others got their food prior to us even if they sat down after us, which was a huge disappointment to see. I really wish they would turn this place around because I want to love it, and I did previously. The owner needs to step in and actually manage the place better, and please filter the water read more

I've been here twice now while on vacation since I have family near by. The first time we ordered steaks since they were on special, 3 of us had to send ours back as they were severely well done when we all ordered medium. Not only that, the wait for food was sooooo long. The second time again the wait for our food was so long, customer service was really lacking. We went for lunch, I ordered the fish and chips special, my boyfriend ordered the Italian hoagie, kids ordered hot dog, grilled cheese, hoagie, and wings. We were there for 1 hour and 45 minutes. This is too long for a lunch. The ONLY reason I'm giving them 2 stars is because of their epic proportions. They're so large. Order food and split it. If you order salad you can split with 4 people. It's ridiculously large. read more

Do not recommend this restaurant. Ordered a salad and hoagie. Waited an hour and food never came out. Other groups served, finished and left. read more

Looking at the reviews, it seems as though everyone has had the same terrible experiences. I've gone here 3 times... terrible service. Nasty attitudes - waitresses, big bald guy who must be the manager, had no personality or care for our business. We asked if they had any more umbrellas for the deck and they said no. We asked how long the wait for an inside table would be and the guy and smaller blonde waitress just simply said "we don't know" ... so we sat in the sun on the deck and I personally moved an umbrella to our table. 20 minute wait for service and drinks. 45 minute wait for food. They "overlooked" my order so I had to wait another 10 minutes for my simple chicken salad. Of course they don't care to be personable or even KIND because they're going to get business, regardless. Sad, because the food is decent and you get great portions, but who wants to "tip" an unfriendly server ???? Here's a tip from now on: smile! read more

Let's start where they can improve. It's a little odd to walk into a place where they have a huge sign that says no weapons, no outside alcohol and no colors. So, I'm guessing this can turn into a dive/biker bar real quick. Our waitress was a bit strange. She was nice enough, but quirky. We asked about the beer selections. We were told that it was extensive. So we asked for list. We were told there wasn't one. Asked what IPAs they had and she said they had one and it wasn't very good. So I don't think I would call that an extensive list. And we had to just guess at our options. They really should have a list. That's ridiculous. They also don't want you to make any substitutions. So we thought we may get pushback for subbing out American cheese on the mushroom Swiss burger. Our waitress got them to do it, but it's weird that they are so hardcore about it. It was also during covid and none of the staff had on masks. Yes, we were outside. But it would've been more comfortable if they looked like they were being careful. But the cons ended there. The pros? We had a larger crowd so we ordered the sweet potato fries, zucchini planks and the peel and eat shrimp for appetizers. All were really good. We had the hangover burger, garlic and parm wings, mushroom American cheese burger, italian sub and the turkey club. All were really good. The fries were absolutely delicious. Sitting outside on the river was great. The food more than makes up for the cons. It's worth the try. Pretty good. read more

Beer is always expired and when you say something about they give you an attitude, food is cold and terrible, service is slow. I have been there 3 or 4 times and it's always the same. Then management comes out to talk to you with nothing but disrespect, an attitude and defends the shitty service. read more

Really good bar foods, fresh and fried. The patio area is really nice and I'm glad to see how clean the area is. Price is a little steep but it's worth it read more

Drive 1.5 hr for lunch. Went in and was told to "seat yourself " It's 2:00pm - (only 2 other families there) So we sat at the end of the bar because there was only ONE table outside with an umbrella. We went there to sit on the deck for lunch. Anyway we waited about ten minutes and then the waitress came over to us and said "Ah, you can't sit there" - we had no intentions of drinking alcohol. We just wanted a breeze - but not to be directly in the sun- So why wouldn't there be a sign. OR someone say something to us instead of letting us sit there and WAIT to be waited on?? No wonder they have a "help wanted sign" up outside - Won't be back, ever - read more

Horrible food. Food is super greasy and it tastes like they don't ever change the grease. Trust me your stomach will hate you for days to come. Also, the "big" salads....they're all lettuce and the "big" subs....they're all bread. My husband got a philly steak and it was steak em's from Kroger. Plus, it takes FOREVER to get waited on. They actually have a sign that says if you haven't been waited on to notify management. And if you complain about the wait or not getting your food....you'll get told to leave! And the owner, he's a jerk. You'd never guess he was the owner by the way he dresses and presents himself but....he is. read more

Have been going there for years and we've always loved it but NO MORE! Went there for lunch with my husband and we were told to seat ourselves which was not a big deal, nobody was in the seating area. Due to COVID we could either eat outside or an inside area that was still completely open. I understand that there are COVID restrictions so we wore our masks in but not one staff member was wearing one! To make matters worse, through the openness, birds were walking all over the floor and we even saw a few on chairs. Talk about unsanitary! The waitress was friendly enough but she never brought us refills and we only saw her when she brought our check. I ordered Godfather fries and got steak fries with gravy. They were cold! They've raised their prices and are not giving you your money's worth. VERY DISAPPOINTED AND WILL NEVER BE BACK! read more

I generally excuse a one time issue and will let it pass but not this time. The repeated reviews about poor service are definitely justified. We waited almost an hour for our food on a Sunday afternoon that wasn't terribly busy. More frustrating is when multiple tables get their food when they arrived long after you have. Inexcusable. The manager tried to say the kitchen was backed up but that doesn't excuse other tables jumping us. Save your money and your sanity and go somewhere else, read more

Love this place! We go every October on our way to the haunted house. Love their wings! HUGE portions and awesome service and drinks! read more

The Crooked Dock - Nachos are amazing and huge - Bars Near Me - Wellsburg, West Virginia

If you find yourself in Wellsburg, stop by to have dinner and/or a drink. Sits right on the river and you can even watch the trains in Ohio. Staff was incredibly friendly. Food took a while but was very good. Only down side was they had a Philly Steak sandwich they said was their best seller. It was good but no way "Philly". read more

Good vibe on the water but food and service is just not good. Ask what draft beer that had. Waitress said no right now. So I ask for a beer menu, she said to tell her what I want and she'll tell me if they have it. After three attempts I settled for sweet tea and then was told they are out, never suggested unsweetened as an option so I got water. My grilled chicken sandwich was miniature with a super jumbo oversized bun served with a bag of chips. My wife had the grilled chicken dinner that was terribly dry. Not one manager came by to inquire how are meal was. Had to wait 15 minutes after finishing to track down server for bill. Up charge of $5.00 for a loaded bake potato !! Seriously ?!?!?! Will never be back. read more

The Dock is a place that you go, if you want to EAT ! Portions are huge and the food tastes great. Crab stuffed shrimp is excellent. Cajun shrimp pasta is delicious. For the kids, they have chicken fries - yes I said chicken fries !! Great views on the water, a sand volley court out back and plenty of deck space that opens up when the weather is nice. It really lives up to the reputation needed for a pitstop on the river. Bring your boat and tie right up on The Crooked Dock. read more

Hi yes great place all good , America Legion Riders period ride, Post 713 Jefferson Hills.

I don't what happened to the fish sandwich there. It came out dry and tuff. With a messy sandwich and a smashed down bun. I tried to eat it. It went down hard. Then I got sick a short time later. Very disappointing. I hope that was just an off day . read more

Stopped in Sunday afternoon. 5:30. Eight of us. Server was really good. She tried her best. Kitchen really failed. Four of us got our order in an hour and a half. The other four received theirs 30 min later. Food was slightly above average bar food. No concessions were made for the two hour wait. Needless to say Not going back. read more

wings were horrendous and there was no steak on the nachos the service is ass I will not be coming back

When reading other reviews, most people rave about the huge portions. So,I ordered a chicken salad and I must say it was HUGE. However, it was the worst salad I have ever eaten in my life. It was a HUGE bowl of iceberg lettuce and not much else. Enough lettuce to feed a family of four. The view of the Ohio River is fantastic and their outdoor deck is clean and spacious. Good atmosphere, but if you're looking for GOOD food rather than HUGE portions, I would suggest passing. read more

Let's start out with the only positive...the view. It was great to sit outside and have the breeze and the river view. Otherwise, this place was a huge disappointment. The service was extremely slow. Our appetizers came out with our meals. I ordered the shrimp salad and basically got a head of iceberg lettuce and a couple of shrimp. The view is the only reason this place made it to 3 stars. read more

Steak Sub is worth the trip.. GF got the steak salad (it was huge) we sat at bar in the back and bartender was tremendously nice!!! Definitely will be back read more

How amazing is the Crooked Dock! It's everything you need in "bar food" without a bar atmosphere (unless that's what you want, and if so, the bar portion is very nice as well). First of all, the setting is beautiful. There is a fantastic river view year round, and in the summer, it's accessible by boat. There's an enormous deck overlooking a beach volleyball court as well a very fun outside bar. As nice as the view is, the food is what keeps us coming back. This is nothing-fancy fried food done super well. Don't leave without trying the cod nuggets or the Contraband Fries. Both offer enormous portions for a very reasonable price. Subs are ENORMOUS! I recommend the half portion unless you are eating for a family of four. Wings rival the more famous (and this more crowded) Drover's Inn. To round out my Crooked Dock love, the servers have always been super friendly, and the bathrooms are cleaner than mine at home. Seriously, don't miss an opportunity to eat here. read more

I ordered a fish sandwich and it taste like it was freezer burned or maybe it was the sauce that they put on it, but it had a disgusting after taste. I tried a bite of my daughters fried chicken sandwich and it had that same nasty after taste. She didn't like her sandwich either. If it was the sauce they need to serve the sandwich dry with the sauce on the side. Otherwise, they were both freezer burnt. The coleslaw was just meh. My husband had the Rueben and it was but better but still not something he would order again. His fries were ok. Good thing we ordered the onion rings as we all would have starved. They were fantastic! We ordered large and it was a massive portion! The service was exceptional and the views were amazing. I would not come back here to eat nor would I recommend it. Just saying................. read more

This review is months late because I just started contributing to Yelp after having felt guilty about all the reviews I had been reading and taking into consideration while contributing none of my own. I came here on a Sunday evening, end of the summer season. It may have even been early fall. I sat out on the deck near the newly constructed bar. I was with two other people. We ordered the "contraband fries" to share as it seems you can never go wrong with cheese and bacon on fries. Well, these disappointed. They lacked flavor and they were semi-warm and didn't have much bacon on them. I decided to go with a Philly cheesesteak hoagie, the large order. I think I remember these sandwiches being some odd size, like 13-15" in length. Regardless, it came out piping hot, dripping with cheese and the bread was perfectly toasted. I do seem to remember mayonnaise coming with it, but it was in a packet on the side. No complaints here. I will make another trip here in the summer of this year. Also wanted to add, the inside was very nice and clean. read more

good food. Extra large portions. I ordered the salad with crispy chicken it was defiantly a salad a whole family could share! Others at the table ordered a chicken wrap, and wings no complaints from anyone. Service is a little slow so go if you have time to watch the river and relax great view. read more

Good buffalo chicken sandwich, good "contraband" fries with ranch. Its a nice "dive" of a place. The afternoon waitress was nice, but not very present. The bar smells like smoke, and one is forced to walk through it to get to the dining area. read more

Great place!! Huge portions, delicious food!! The outside seating is amazing because it's right on the river! Service is good.

It's not even worthy of a 1 star. Found Bugs in the food and spoiled food. Rude waitress and rude manager. Wanted us to pay for the bad food. Told them no and they never apologized for the bad experience or tried to make it right. Just asked us to promise never to come back. No problem we won't. Just to let you know that it's a health hazard. read more

I was just there Monday, July 3rd. Very disappointed. We were told it'd be close to 1 hour to get our food, we stayed anyways. As the time passed we waited nearly 15 minutes for our drinks. The place wasn't exactly busy, the inside seating was empty. As the good started to come out, it was in phases like 2 people got their food then the next 3 got theirs. Also, the server didn't know what went to who as she brought the food out. This was only my 3rd visit since it became "The Crooked Dock". I do not plan on going back. read more

I ate there with 13 other family members yesterday evening (Good Friday) and it was a very enjoyable experience. The food and service was great, prices were very reasonable and the facility seemed clean...what more could you ask for. George read more

This place is ok for a quick bite. The food portions are huge which is decent for the price. Most food served here is greasy and comes off as cheap bar food. Some of the bar tenders are rude and stuck up. But other than that bullshit, it's mediocre at best for a small town. read more

If you want to get away from it all this is a nice place to do that on a good Summer day. When the weather is good there is no better place to be than on the deck over looking the river. The food was pretty darn good too. read more
